Zuko and (teacher) Iroh high school au

(It’s been a hot minute but we back baby 🤗🤩)

Zuko

Senior

Fave subjects: Buisness and English Lit (surprisingly)

He used to only care about his buisness and economics classes because his father gave him a lot of pressure to have good grades and go to a good college/university.

He also knew it was the only way for his father to stop comparing him to his sister.

Eventually after a while he stopped putting so much pressure on himself and letting his dad get to him.

After that he found himself enjoying his uncles class more and more (YES IROH IS AN ENG TEACHER MORE ON THAT LATER)

Rich international student/e-boy aeshetic: black supreme, champion and antisocial social club baggy shirts and hoodies, gucci belt, black jeans and sweatpants.

Sports/Extracurriculars: Basketball and student council

He and Katara have a fierce rivalry in the student council as they both applied to be president.

After an exact tie in the votes from the student body, eventually Zuko got president and Katara was given vice-president since they knew she had one more year of high school left (and the council was too scared too choose between the two)

Zuko was always an angsty moody boi (whats dif from canon lol) cuz he had a lot of his pressure from his dad to be on top of his studies to get to university and take over the family buisness.

On Mondays he just running on caffeine and like 2 hours of sleep so he is cranky(-er than usual)

He also used to only hang out with his sisters and her friends or just spend time on his own being the brooding bAd BoY™

Eventually Aang annoyed him into being friends and hanging out with his friend group.

Katara was skeptical at first but eventually warmed up to him and they became the most powerful, hardworking duo that made real great changes with the student council.

Aang taught Zukko to relax more, have fun at high school while still balancing academics and just manage the emotional pressure from his dad.

Toph just likes to provoke Zuko by pranking him and jokingly (cough not jokingly) flirting with him.

Sokka also just loves to prank and tease Zuko everyday.

"sOKKA. STOP WRITING LOVE LETTERS ON MY BEHALF. I. DON'T. NEED. A. GIRLFRIEND.

"Aaaw c'mon buddy when's the last time you got some since that Mae girl?

"...I will murder you."

"AGSHJKV AANG HE L P"

Uncle Iroh

Teaches English literature at the high school

He often supervises most of the after school charity/volunteering clubs run by students.

He also runs an after-school self-care/mental health clubs for kids who need that kind of space to express their emotions.

So many students thank him for starting this club and tell him how much he's helped them towards the end of their high school career.

He's one of those veteran teachers who had been at the school for a long time and is beloved by every group of students.

Kind, patient and passionate about teaching and making sure his students are happy, excited to learn and fully understand all the concepts he teaches.

Every student is so hype when they see him on their schedule for the year

"Who do you have for english?"

"OMG YESS I GOT IROH. ENGLISH IS GONNA BE LIT THIS YEAR"

"dUDE what LUCKYYY. I got Bumi 😞 I mean he's nice enough but he's lowkey weird AF and I really can't understand what he's trying to teach"

His lessons are always super engaging and even though he isn't one of those super hyper, loud teachers, all students no matter how sleepy or awake will always pay attention.

His classroom always smells like tea because he's drinking a fresh cup of tea every. single. lesson.

A group of students once gave him a custom mug that says "World's best tea-cher" (with the word 'tea' printed on a picture of a teabag)

Iroh hasn't stopped using that mug ever since.

He's often seen walking around the school balancing that mug on his laptop and teaching materials

Iroh was also good at recognising when students had crushes on each other and would arrange his seating plan according to his OTP's.

Sometimes he would tease the students about their crushes in class

He would also sometimes ask students to stay behind and give them advice on their crushes and how to ask them to prom/festivals etc.

Zuko visits Iroh everyday during his Lunch period since Iroh always wants to chat with him and check on him.

At first Zuko was constantly brooding and stressed everytime he went to chat

After becoming friends with the gaang his mood and mental health improved greatly and Iroh was incredibly happy to recognise that change in him.

Zuko also used to always fall asleep or just act unbothered during Iroh's class since he never saw the point of learning about English Literature.

Iroh didn't mind but still occasionally tried to encourage Zuko to participate by asking him questions or just acknowledging in class.

"What did you think of the symbolism behind the streetcar, Zuko?"

"Eh I dunno? Desirable?"

"Wordsworth sure loved nature, his description of it is almost...romantic! Do you understand the pun there, Zuko?

"No, uncle."

Eventually he found himself appreciating his uncle's lessons, enjoying English literature and could sometimes make some terrible jokes.

"Now class, as we know Wordsworths daffodils is a prime example of his message for us to appreciate nature."

"Uncle if I may it seems like Wordsworth appreciated a different kind of flower, if you know what I mean...I mean opium just to be clear."

Iroh always laughed at every single joke no matter how terrible just because he was overjoyed that his nephew was finally paying attention and engaging in class.

Zuko also started carpooling to and from school with Iroh.

He was sick of taking the private car with his sister and hier friends anyway (rich boy problems™)

In these rides to school they would either chat about general school gossip, have deep conversations about Zuko's future and what it means to learn or just sit in silence and listen to soothing music.

And now these car rides were the best part of both of their days and memorise Zuko treasured when he went to college/university.

[echoes-of-realities]

hello! this is completely random but i saw in your bio that you have a BA in anthropology. I'm currently trying to figure out what I want to do with my life and anthropology sounds really nice. Are the jobs opportunities good when you graduate? I'm also from Canada! Thank you!

Hey! I’m going to put all this under a cut cause it’s, uh, a Lot of information lmao.

So I don’t know how much you know about anthropology, but the cool thing about it if you’re going into research, is that you can do basically anything with it tbh! At its most simple, anthro is the study of humanity, so that includes literally anything to do with humans. What to study residential school experiences of Indigenous people in Canada? There’s a plethora of research opportunities about First Nations people, usually under the sub-discipline of Indigenous anthropology. What to study the effects of the lack of media representation for LGBTQ+ people? Queer Theory is a huge aspect of modern anthropology. What to study human evolution in the Horn of Africa? Paleoanthropology is a huge field. What to know Far Too Much about projectile points across the prairies? Archaeology is for you. Want to study RV-ing retirees? There’s literally a book on it.

Anthropology is broken down into four sub-disciplines: 

Linguistic Anthropology: Studies relationship between culture and language; everything from language revitalization to how language usage can further oppression. This field is closely tied to linguistics, but is actually very different to it. Linguistics generally studies the structure of language, while linguistic anthropology studies how language can produce/maintain culture, and vice versa.

Biological Anthropology: Sometimes called physical anthropology, it’s the study of humans and non-human primates in terms of biology, evolution, and demography; paleoanthropology and primatology both fit here, as does forensic anthropology. I.e., the TV show Bones, except actually accurate lmao. Don’t get me wrong, I love Bones and it’s actually what got me interested in anthropology in the first place, but literally every time I watch an ep now I’m like “You can’t estimate sex from that. That’s wrong you can’t estimate race. Age estimates range from 24-82 not within two years. You can’t do that!” ff

Archaeology: There’s a Whole Bunch of specializations in arch like bioarchaeology or lithic analysis or pottery analysis; archaeology is kind of….. lagging behind the other subdisciplines in terms of feminist theory and queer theory and treating PoC respectfully. (Especially Indigenous people, NAGPRA exists because archaeologists continually dug up Indigenous graves and then refused to give the Native Americans and First Nations the remains back so……) But! There are a lot of younger archaeologists reforming the discipline and making feminist and queer theory more common in the field. Black Feminist Archaeology by Whitney Battle-Baptiste is the first archaeologists that comes to mind off the top of my head in terms of including more PoC voices in archaeology, but there’s Many others doing good work!

This is totally a self-plug lmao but if you want to know more about homophobia and sexual harassment in archaeology, which is unfortunately rather commonplace, here’s a link to my final project for my Gender in Archaeology class about the topic, it’s a narrative video game and I’ve Very Proud of it.

Cultural Anthropology: Just like it sounds, this is the study of cultures. “Culture” is a Really Contentious term in anthropology and there’s no way I’m getting into the decades of debates here lmao. But essentially, cultural anthropologists study all aspects of different cultures, from the Big Men of the Indigenous peoples in Papua New Guinea to gender relations in small fishing villages in Portugal to homeless drug addicts in urban centres. Often issues of cultural appropriation, racism, homophobia, gender vs. sex (spoiler: they’re Very Different and completely depend on the culture), and oppression fall into this subdiscipline, but they can be explored in every field of anthro.

If you Really want a taste of Cultural Anthropology, watch Ongka’s Big Moka, which I’ve watched no less than seven times because basically Every Intro level anthro class plus second year classes without prereq’s show it. My best friend who’s also in anthro and I joke that we know more about Ongka than we do certain family members, which is 100% true.

So, as you can see based on the subdisciplines, there’s a Whole Realm of possibilities when it comes to jobs. The most common is basically going into research (which includes ethnographies), becoming a professor at a post-secondary institution, or going into applied anthropology.

Research: Research can be done on basically any topic, but anthropological research is rather unique (some sociology research uses the same practices, but not as commonly as anthro). Of course, there’s the research that archaeology and paleanthropology do that falls closer to a “hard science”, but cultural anthropological research is different. Ethnographic research is holistic and includes living in the community for an extended period of time (usually over a year), learning the language, and participant observation (you must participate in the community you’re studying; this is where researchers in “hard sciences” usually scoff and accuse anthropology as being subjective and not objective, which is true, but what most scientists don’t like to acknowledge is that all science is subjective because it is done by imperfect humans).

Professor: In order to become a prof, you need to have a master’s degree (people with masters can teach undergrad, people with a doctorate can teach graduate courses), so you do need an area of research to do your thesis on. Most anthropologists eventually become college/university profs once their research days end, or they teach during the school year and do their research during the summer. One of my fave profs does bioarchaeology in Tanzania every couple summers with some grad students so!

Applied Anthropology: Applied anthropology is probably the biggest area of careers tbh. Technically applied anthropology is just anthro applied to practical problems, so it can technically be anything. Most often, it includes medical anthropology (which is one of my areas of research studies how cultural ideologies of health and wellbeing go into healing, Lots of interesting commentaries on Western medicine and traditional medicine and how one culture’s idea of “healthy” is often Very Different to another’s), work with NGOs or activism organizations, archaeologists, museum or archive work, ecological or environmental anthropology, political anthropology, economic anthropology, forensic anthropology, and so many more tbh.

So yeah, that’s a rundown of anthropology and the ways your career can go. Honestly—and this isn’t me being all “my field is the Best Field” or anything lol—I think everyone would benefit from taking a couple anthro courses. I took The Anthropology of Sex, Gender, and Age in culture my first semester of my first year, and it’s still one of my favourite courses ever, and honestly I think that everyone going to college should take that course. Not only do you learn about how sex, gender, and age all culturally determined (no, sex is not biological because “biological” is culturally determined; most Papua New Guinean tribes have no concept of chromosomes, so “sex” isn’t based on chromosomes for them), but you’re also taught empathy in that class. Same with the Anthropology of Race and Racism class I took. Being uncomfortable is the most important part of unlearning toxic ideologies, and those two classes really embrace the uncomfortable. The biggest thing you need to be an anthropologist is empathy imo. The main goal of anthropology is to gain an emic perspective (i.e., an “insider’s” perspective) when doing research. I was always Really interested in social studies as a kid because I loved learning about different cultures so anthro is basically the “adult” version of that lmao and anthropology is essentially an extension of that.

I will say, that it’s pretty hard to do anything in anthro without at least a masters degree, so you have to be prepared to do A Lot of schooling. As for job prospects after grad, it depends entirely on where you live and what field you wanna go into. There’s far more job opportunities for anthropology in Toronto than in a small town with 7,000 people. And the fields really matter too. For example, if you want to practice forensic anthropology in Canada, you essentially have to wait for the current forensic anthropologist to die or retire, whichever comes first, before you even have a chance at a job. But as for medical anthropology or anthropology that involves working with or researching for Indigenous peoples, especially in Canada, there’s basically always job opportunities because they are in high demand of research or of people who can act as consultants.

Anyways, this is Long but I hope it helps, and btw, this basically only scratches the Surface of anthropology. I didn’t go into anthro’s long, uh, let’s say shitty history, for simplicity’s sake, of racism and colonialism here, not because I’m ignore it but just because it’s Long and I don’t have the time right now lol. But most modern good anthropologists don’t shy away from criticizing anthro and being vocal about it’s past and current issues, as well as advocating for how to fix them. Anyways. If you have any other questions feel free to send me another ask, or just PM me too! I’m happy to give information about anthropology!!

[burgersforshoes]

got tagged by one of my main hoes 4 life @headbangervixen to answer this handful of questions 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

1. How tall are you?

somewhere between 5′6″ and 5′7″

2. What colour and style is your hair?

blond, just a darker blond than what it (mostly) is right now. You can very easily see my natural colour, as I can’t afford to bleach the roots. My hair can’t afford it, either, too much is falling out as it is. As for style, I used to curl it all the time with the 10+ year old flat iron because I look like an uggo with my (natural) straight hair, however I keep it straight now because I’d rather be an uggo with hair than a bald uggo, ya feel?

3. What colour are your eyes?

grey-green

4. Do you wear glasses?

na

5. Do you have braces?

I wore them from age 13-15

6. What is your fashion sense?

Whatever I feel like, really, and that’s a wiiiiiiiide range. I’m SUPER into Liam Gallagher’s clothing line, I’m in love with all of the patterns and the mod feel to it (I was really into the mod (sub?)culture in grade 8)! I’m into the punk look too, though, and high fashion is nice too, and I can even go for a plaid shirt and jeans, or a big sweater and leggings. I could go on and on, buddy. It’s really a giant grab-bag with me

7. Do you have any siblings?

ya. sister. 10 years older

8. What kind of student are you?

not going down that road

9. What are your favourite school subjects?

Drama, economics, marketing, psychology, and biology. I was good at art and math and English too, but we all know that has fuck-all to do with whether you like it or not.

10. What are your favourite TV shows?

(In no particular order) Scrubs, Arrested Development, The Get Down, American Horror Story (most seasons, certainly not all),Stranger Things, Breaking Bad, The Walking Dead, Seinfeld, The Simpsons.. I’m about 100% sure I’m forgetting some. I really don’t watch that often, despite having a bunch of faves

11. Favourite books?

like none lol i don’t really read

12. Favourite pastimes?

hanging around my city and just checking it out, tbh. All the record stores and big fancy shops and good eats are there hahaha. Really nice architecture in the right places, too. Going to school in the city is a fucking BLESSING and I’m not gonna hide that I think people who want to go away to college towns in Bumfuck, Egypt are fucking stupid

13. Any regrets?

Totally.

14. What is your dream job?

when I was really little, I wanted to be a train. Like a real train. That is not metaphorical in any sense whatsoever. For the better part of my life I’ve *dreamed* of being either an actor or a musician but having zero talent is kind of a roadblock. Being realistic fucking sucks!

I’m trying to get into nursing right now, which I totally think is a sweet job and could absolutely see myself enjoying, do not get me wrong.

15. Do you want to get married?

I mean, it’s certainly not a goal in my life, but if I’m happy with someone for a long time and I see the situation staying that way, I guess there’s no harm in tying the knot, but even then I just don’t think it’s necessary and I probably wouldn’t do it anyways. I don’t need a legal document to represent what having a wife or husband or anything in-between means

16. Do you want to have kids? How many?

z e r o. On the contrary, I’d love to have like 500 puppies one day hahahaha

17. How many countries have you visited?

I’ve been south of the border to Florida a couple times, but does that reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally count? Everyone and their grandma has been there, especially if their ass is Canadian like mine.

gonna try and tag people I don’t know too well yet: @barfwitch, @reluctant-martyrs, @era-vulgar, @glowinginahuddle, @grimlygroovy, and of course anyone else who wants to because it breaks my heart that I can’t think of everyone I love off the top of my head and tag ‘em (too many of you fuckers!)
